Basics of DIP Switches DIP Switch is a miniature switch that is mounted onto printed circuit boards and used to make settings on electronic devices. The name "DIP switch" comes from having the same shape and array of terminals found in integrated circuits (dual inline package), thus abbreviated to DIP. DIP switches are widely used in communication equipment, commercial equipment and industrial equipment with optional features including surface mounting, assortment of poles, different actuator types and sealing structure.
